Can you force human beings to do your will?
No you cannot.
Can you follow a proven system to send highly targeted people to your blog?
Yes you can.
Systems drive consistent quality traffic because systems behave like the ultimate match maker.
As we speak, bloggers who crave blogging tips find Blogging From Paradise Dot Com. I consistently follow a simple system to drive the ideal reader to my blog. I work the system by creating highly targeted content. I engage resonant readers. Quality traffic finds my blog.
Anyone easily sees the logic in this smart approach.
But…..
What About Building a Loyal Blogging Community?
Some established bloggers – me included – stress the importance of building a loyal blogging community.
Human readers who return to your blog consistently appear to accelerate your blogging success. I cannot doubt that one. I even preach it.
But one important distinction needs clarifying. Loyalty depends not on specific people but those folks who need your message for the right stretch of time for them.
The humans who accelerate your blogging success change. People come and go. Unfortunately, people pass away. Some dig your style but not that much to return daily. Others backburner their blogs. Others quit blogging all together. Loyalties change because people change.
Imagine basing your success on specific human beings who expressed loyalty for a fleeting stretch of time. Using this logic, your success would disappear when the people disappeared for one of many reasons.
Does that sound sensible?
No it does not.
What makes sense?
Work a proven system. This you have full control over.
Let that system send highly targeted humans to your blog, completely independent of their loyalty.
Never attach to specific humans from that laser-pinpointed lot but trust your system to send you targeted humans for whatever time frame seems appropriate.
Systems Succeed But Loyal Humans Come and Go
I spent roughly 40 minutes yesterday deleting irrelevant and thin comments on Blogging From Paradise Dot Com.
Dozens of formerly loyal Blogging From Paradise Dot Com readers came and went. I have not seen some of these folks for over a decade. A few have not stopped by for the prior few years.
Imagine if my quality traffic hinged on people who have not stopped by for 1 year or 10 years?
I’d be screwed.
But I rely on my system not the shifting preferences of human beings. I cannot force people to return to my blog again and again for years. People come and go. I can diligently work my blogging system to send highly targeted people to my blog at the right time for them.
Succeed by psychologically detaching from specific humans.
Invest in working a system that sends the right humans to your blog at the right time.
I Appreciate You…..But…..
I appreciate your loyalty; I really do. But no one is promised tomorrow. I mean not to think in fatalistic terms. Far from it. I mean that tomorrow you may decide to go for a ride in the country with your spouse instead of visiting Blogging From Paradise Dot Com. Perhaps a doctor’s appointment and visiting family occupies your next day. Life intervenes, right? 2 weeks from now, based on being loyal, you visit my blog again. I appreciate you for the visit but know as a 17 year blogging veteran that my system delivers my blog organic traffic during your 2 week absence.
Yet some pro bloggers incredibly teach that you failed as a blogger by not manipulating someone to return to your blog daily for that 2 week stretch. That is an error. This is a mistake. Working a proven system makes freedom from time and location possible. Working a proven system is the solution.
Working smart systems consistently build exponentially increasing, high quality blog traffic.
Relying on fleeting human loyalty is a can of worms.
The Online World Has Changed
What has changed since I began blogging a little under 2 decades ago?
- AI blogging emergedÂ
- volatile social media algorithms became even more tempestuous
- content and marketing channels blew up to dizzying levels
People are as dumbed down and distracted as ever.
Of course a loyal few will visit your blog for a stretch of time. But those loyal few come and go eventually. Unfortunately, as father time dictates, some pass away. Most will look for AI blogging shortcuts here and there. Others will give a little more time to social media. yet others will look for the “latest, greatest game changer” as per the ego’s mandates.
Guess what?
As loyal readers exit stage left your blogging system will replace them with double the volume of temporarily loyal readers.
Guess what?
The tiny fraction of loyal readers who stuck with you for 5, 10 or 20 years will be as happy as a claim with the fruits of your proven system.
Guess what?
Independent of specific humans coming and going, your organic traffic and blogging income increase exponentially over the long haul if you work a proven system consistently for years.
The Big Question
What is this Blogging From Paradise system that I speak of?
Simple.
I create content for my blog and offsite sources.
I engage readers who value my blog posts and offsite content.
Currently, I write and publish one blog post daily. I also create a heavy volume of content for:
- X
- Threads
- BlueSky
The channels are subject to change.
But the system of creating and connecting never changes for me. I have tasted the power of working evergreen systems. There’s no turning back.
Following this simple system to genuinely prolific levels for years challenges every blogger at times.
But if going pro were easy then every blogger would go pro.
Do simple things for an extraordinary length of time in a world that falls flat on its face doing extraordinary things for a few minutes, days or weeks.
Conclusion
Never rely on the constant change of human preferences.
Ground your organic traffic and blogging income in evergreen systems.
